King Of Hell Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 The best thing that can happen is for the dude to change other aspects of his life, along with the rehab. You can't be going to rehab, then hang out with the same people going to the same places...it generally doesn't work well. The best thing in the world to do, if you are really looking to help dude out, is, get him away from the same old haunts. When you are hanging out with him, help reinforce the councelling by going to new places, being positive, not drinking or getting fucked up around him, suggesting whole new areas to go and maybe introduce him to some other people who aren't around the shit his is trying to get away from. Its really gotta be a multi faceted attack on habits to make an impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teen_014.jpg Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I'm lazy and didn't read all the posts above. I went to rehab, by my own deciscion. The place I was at used the 12 step program, which I think is total bullshit. Whatever, if it helps people, go ahead, but the best thing I got out of that place was the time with myself, and without drugs and alcohol. I was there for 3-4 months, came home, hung out with the same people at the same places, sober. 3 and a half years and counting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Hell Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I hope that helps, Heshy. I have some experience watching people close to me go down a spiral as far as you can get taking casualties the whole way down. Most of my extended family has been ravaged by some kind of addiction. My Dad died an addict, broke, alone, and in a wheelchair, trying to wheel his way to the store to get more alchohol. He never could kick any of his habbits. I remeber him teaching me to make his drinks, I remember him callin to me from the bathroom when I was like 7 to get him all his "shootin up" eqipment from his bedroom. He'd get counselling, and then be sober for like 3 weeks. Then his buddies would help him celebrate his sobriety by throwing him a party with a keg, and coke, and everything else he didnt need at that time. The only time he stayed sober for any length of time was when he wasn't in close proximity to the people and places where all of that shit was, AND he had other distractions, like family vacations, or visitng relatives who had their shit together......I dont know man. Best of luck to your buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SukiSukiNow Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 my friend was in one for 3 months. he lived there and went to meetings, he was allowed to have visitors once a week and make phone calls. after 3 months he came out and went right back to drugs. he went back into st. vincent's drug program/rehab. had to live and work on-site. seems to be working so far.

Frate_Raper Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Straight edge is a shitty term for a people that have made the choice not to party, deal with it. Rum, my lifepartner in crime Dazem, HATES punkrock music, hates loud music . He likes Beck,Bjork,CCR and driving fine german autos.........nigguhs straight edge, in the sense that he doesn't like to get fucked up. Do you have to call yourself that? no. Do I call myself that? sort of, I used too but now I'm an adult that doesn't partake in your bullshit. got it? good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAJ Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 A few years ago I tried to check myself into an inpatient rehab clinic but since I wasnt suicidal they turned me away. They told me to try an outpatient program. I went one day. Nothing changed at all. I ended up going to jail repeatedly for numerous drug/alcohold related shit before I helped myself. I hope everything works out for your friend though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbish heap two Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 let's say someone don't look like a rasta but they got a couple bob marley records and one of those hats with the dreads attached, do you think that would get them off in court?
